Guy, AR
How exposed is Guy to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Guy lands at the 81st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 637 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Guy at the 85th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Guy's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 91.2% of Guy's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 8.8% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 581 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Guy compares
There's little gap between Guy's 81st national percentile and its 83rd percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Guy ranks 6,011 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,374 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 104 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Guy's very high rating (81st percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Guy (91.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Guy's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Guy's 6,011-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Guy's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
